Vancouver Island Cars

[AC Bill]

It never fails to amaze me, what cars are lurking in the shadows on this rock in the pacific. I went to a smaller car show this last weekend. Small like maybe 40 cars..
Here are a few of the cars that showed up.

The army truck was a 1942 Chevrolet RH drive, which apparently was shipped overseas in two crates, and needed to be assembled upon arrival. The owner said there were thousands and thousands of them made for WWII. This ne was used as a log skidder after the war, and was in pretty rough shape. Many of the parts he built from original blueprint copy's, by hand.

A 2006 Ford GT was a surprise to see. Not to many of them, in this neck of the woods. There were actually three FFR roadsters at one point, which is something you would be hard pressed to see at even the bigger (600+ cars), shows held here on the Island each summer. I missed getting a picture of the now, street legal spec racer that showed up, as he didn't stick around to long. I think he was intimidated by my shiny new paint job...
